gesellte Jim Morrisson sich zu all den Stars, die tot in der Badewanne aufgefunden wurden.

Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I'll wander, baby
Stumblin' in the neon groves …

(The Doors, Soul Kitchen, 1965)

Heute vor 51 Jahren am Vortag des Independence Day wurde Jim Morrison in seiner Wohnung in Paris tot aufgefunden.

Each house repeats a mold, windows rolled
Beast car locked in against morning
All now sleeping
Rugs silent, mirrors vacant
Dust lying under the beds of lawful couples
Wound in sheets
And daughters, smug
With semen eyes in their nipples
Wait
There's been a slaughter here ...
.
Don't stop to speak or look around
Your gloves and fan are on the ground
We're getting out of town, we're going on the run
And you're the one I want to come...
.
(The Doors, Celebration of the Lizard, 1970)
.
Rest in Peace, Jim. You too, Ray.

wurde Jim Morrison in seiner Wohnung in Paris tot aufgefunden. Würde er noch leben, wäre er 77 Jahre alt.

Take the highway to the end of the night,
end of the night, end of the night.
Take a journey to the bright midnight,
end of the night, end of the night.

Realms of bliss, realms of light,
some are born to sweet delight,
some are born to sweet delight,
some are born to the endless night,
end of the night, end of the night,
end of the night, end of the night.

(The Doors, End of the Night, aus dem Debutalbum "The Doors", 1967)

.

Rest in peace, Jim. You too, Ray.

People are strange
when you're a stranger,
faces look ugly
when you're alone.
Women seem wicked
when you're unwanted,
streets are uneven
when you're down.
When you're strange, faces come out in the rain,
when you're strange, noone remembers your name,
when you're strange, when you're strange, when you're strange.

(The Doors, People are Strange, aus "Strange Days", 1967)

Rest in peace, Jim. You too, Ray.

Time to live
Time to lie
Time to laugh
Time to die

Takes it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don't move too fast
And you want your love to last
You've been movin' much too fast

Time to walk
Time to run
Time to aim your arrows
At the sun

Takes it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don't move too fast
And you want your love to last
Ah, you've been movin' much too fast

Go real slow
You like it more and more
Take it as it comes
Specialize in havin' fun

Takes it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don't move too fast
And you want your love to last
Ah, you've been movin' much too fast
Movin' much too fast
Movin' much too fast

(The Doors, Take it as it Comes, 1967)

Rest in peace, Jim. And you, Ray.

Heute vor 47 Jahren starb Jim Morrison in den frühen Morgenstunden in Paris.

.
The days are bright and filled with pain.
Enclose me in your gentle rain,
the time you ran was too insane,
we'll meet again, we'll meet again.
.
Oh tell me where your freedom lies,
the streets are fields that never die.
Deliver me from reasons why
you'd rather cry, I'd rather fly.

(The Doors, aus: The Crystal Ship, 1965)

Rest in Peace, Jim. You too, Ray.

ist es heute her, dass Jim Morrison gestorben ist, am Tag vor dem Independence Day (den er in Paris vermutlich garnicht gefeiert hätte).

I was doing time in the Universal Mind,
I was feeling fine.
I was turning keys, I was setting people free,
I was doing alright.
Then you came along, with a suitcase and a song,
turned my head around -
Now I'm so alone, just looking for a home
in every face I see ...
I'm a Freedom Man
Yeah, that's how lucky I am
I'm the Freedom Man.

(The Doors, Universal Mind, aus "Absolutely Live", Acquarius second show 1969)

Rest in Peace, Jim. You too, Ray.
